The diploma thesis examines three selected works from the South Slavic region, Impure Blood by Borisav Stanković (1910), Anika's Times by Ivo Andrić (1935) and Madame Judit by Ivan Cankar (1904). It briefly presents the theoretical works of Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar (The Madwoman in the Attic), Laura Mulvey (Visual Pleasures and Narrative Cinema) and a historical overview of the development of capitalist work discipline and the demonization of female sexuality (Silvia Federici: Caliban and the Witch), which it uses to analyze the actions of three female characters who deviate from social expectations and thus act destructively for the patriarchal community. It also presents the historical context of the time covered by the selected works and focuses on the changes that ideologically shaped society and consolidated its patriarchal values.
